Law Enforcement

For almost thirty years, law enforcement officers have been vital partners to MCCE. The Michigan State Police is a co-sponsor and MCCE has provided training and support through our Law Enforcement/Teacher Partnership Program.

Law Enforcement officers can help bring law-related content alive for students and provide an important bridge to the community.

For students from fifth through 12th grade and beyond, Police Patrol is an innovative curriculum that will open communication and break down stereotypes between police and students. Students get an opportunity to have positive interactions with police officers, to learn about police work, and to work on improving police-community relations.
